Why Should You Get Moroccan Tiles for Your Kitchen?

Moroccan tiles have been chart toppers for a while now, but the question is: Are they required in the kitchen? Read on as we answer this burning question!

Moroccan-themed interiors are highly in vogue right now. So why should kitchen tiles be left behind? 

Moroccan tiles help bring exotic and offbeat Moroccan designs to your kitchen, with their eye-catching colour combinations and patterns, without overwhelming the space.

Moroccan tiles for the kitchen have the ability to magically enhance the space and transform it from meh to an exotic wonder. They add some much-needed pop and pattern to a minimal kitchen in subdued colours and add an extra dimension to brightly decorated kitchens. They are timeless and have been on top of tile trends for years – and they will not decline in the foreseeable future.

While Moroccan tiles were usually available in bright shades of blues, oranges, yellows, reds, and greys, they are now also available in shades of brown, beige, pink, and even in black and white for those who love Moroccan patterns but cannot stomach the bright palettes.

So, why should you get Moroccan tiles for your kitchen? Well, here is a list of a few reasons why!

1) They Are Versatile

Moroccan tiles do not help make a statement – they are a statement by themselves and can help elevate the look of your kitchen effortlessly. These tiles are available in various patterns and colours and are an excellent choice for both floors and walls of your kitchen.

Moroccan floor tiles can add an understated touch of pattern and colour to your kitchen. Moroccan wall tiles can be used in multiple ways:

1) Moroccan tiles can be used to create an accent wall to brighten up the space.

2) Moroccan wall tiles can be applied to the backsplash area. This not only helps protect your wall from splatters of oil, water and food particles but also helps create an interesting focal point for the kitchen.

3) If a wall of Moroccan tiles is a little too much for the minimal loving you, you can use Moroccan tiles in combination with plain tiles to create a wall concept where Moroccan tiles do not overwhelm the space but still,, have a presence.

4) Certain Moroccan tiles can also be used on the kitchen platform or island for a subtle pop of colour and pattern.

2) They Are A Classic

With the passage of time, we have seen various trends come and go and trends that seem terribly dated in 2022 (hello farmhouse style kitchen!) Despite the fact that Moroccan tiles have been considered “trendy” for the last couple of years, it is undeniable that they are a classic style that has been in use for hundreds of years now. The designs and patterns on these tiles may be bright and eye-catching but are not too in your face, and the tiles vary from each other due to the different motifs used.

The other big advantage of using Moroccan tiles in the kitchen is the fact that these tiles pair very well with other classic materials, such as marble, granite and wood. So, even with the ever-fluctuating and changing trends, you need not worry about having a dated-looking kitchen in your home. This also helps reduce renovation costs since you won’t need to keep changing things up every few years to keep your interiors stylish and in vogue.

3) They Are Durable And Easy To Maintain

Moroccan tiles are considered to be timeless not just because of their looks but also because of their durability. These modern kitchen tiles are often manufactured using the latest technology that makes them strong and long-lasting. They also have low porosity, helping protect your floors and walls from moisture-related damage.

These tiles are also very easy to clean, and the dry debris can often be dusted off them using a broom or rag. It is advisable to regularly clean them with some soapy water and a mop to maintain their pristine look, but they do not require any special cleaning materials or tools whatsoever. This is a great advantage in a kitchen with high foot traffic and a lot of spills and splatters all around.

Whichever way you use these tiles, on the floor or on the walls or on your kitchen island or platform, Moroccan tiles work very well in the kitchen and can increase the appeal of your space quite dramatically. Their versatility, timelessness, durability and ease of maintenance ensure that these modern kitchen tiles are a hassle-free addition to your kitchen.
